Italian for “The Old Way,” ViA VECCHiA is a small plates Italian-inspired restaurant. We are situated within the heart of the Old Port in a historic brick and ivy-covered building overlooking cobblestone streets.

Stop by and enjoy our ravioli, filet, or other authentic dishes – but not before sipping on a delicious aperitivo to stimulate the appetite.

We also proudly host an extraordinary cocktail program combining old world sophistication and new world technique.

Our large wrap-around 20 seat bar is surrounded by velvet booths in a warm, energetic atmosphere. Before you leave, be sure to take an Instagram selfie in the bathroom mirror and tag us to have a chance of being featured on our page!

The front entrance has a stunning presence and from the street the interior looked opulent. At first glance at the menu I thought it looked limited but yummy so I booked a dinner reservation. Boy was I glad that I did! The food quality was exceptional from the in-house made bread to the in-house fresh pasta down to desserts. The cocktails and wine selection was robust and delicious. The interior is just as opulent and sexy inside as it looked from outside, walking by. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Via Vecchia is our favorite date night spot in Portland. The menu has something for everyone while being relatively affordable. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is just as great. The pasta dishes are *chefs kiss. If you have a chance to stop in for a drink, or want a night out, make sure to stop here.

Great vibes. On a traffic-less street. Cocktails are top notch with best Italian in Maine. The ravioli pictured is very unique in flavor- in a fantastic way and rivals many pastas from Italy. Staff was great. Can’t say enough good things!

This place caught my eye walking down the street. We had already had dinner but put our name on the list to sit anywhere and have a drink and dessert. One of the most beautiful spaces I’ve been in. Amazing cocktails, great attention to detail in service and in every other aspect. It was a pleasure to sit at the bar and enjoy the space and my cocktail was one of the best I’ve ever had. Our bartender recommended checking out the back room too which was very cool but I loved the big windows and chandeliers in the front so much so we stayed at the bar. Simply gorgeous!

Ambiance was awesome throughout the restaurant. My wife and I were seated initially at the bar and asked to move to a table and so glad we did. We got seated in the back of the restaurant up top looking over the bar (picture included). Our schedule was surrounded by seafood restaurants, so my wife and I shook things up with some Italian fare; Via Vecchia was on point. Great food and service.
